Frédéric Chopin: Six Etudes from the Twelve Etudes cycle, Op. 25

 

Aljoša Jurinić is in love with Chopin's music. He is his favourite composer, to whom he devotes himself with all his heart and inspiration. His perfect technique enables him to deliver a mature and logical interpretation full of emotions and beautiful details. His melodies are tuneful, dynamics full of contrasts, his rhythm is exciting and youthfully playful. After all, Chopin (1810-1849) was also very young when he wrote and premiered that concerto (1830). Aljoša Jurinić’s sensational performance was rewarded with a big round of applause and ovations from the large audience and the young musician played two more, shorter pieces by Chopin – Nocturne in D flat major, Op. 27, No. 2 and Etude in F minor, Op. 25, No. 2 (Višnja Požgaj, KLASIKA.hr, 16 December 2015)

Pianist Aljoša Jurinić is a music hero of our time, the first pianist from Croatia and this part of the world who managed to make the final (among 10 best pianists) of the greatest and most prestigious piano competition - the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.  But Aljoša Jurinić does not rest on his laurels; after the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, he also made the final of the great and demanding Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels and won the competition!
